Title: Cultivation method of Morchella
Inventor: WEI LIU
IPC: A01G18/20
Filed: 2022-02-23
Abstract: The cultivation method of Morchella (morels) comprises sowing morel spawn, applying exogenous nutrient blocks on the morel spawn and covering the spawn and the nutrient blocks with soil, wherein there is a gap between the nutrient blocks. The blocks may be 2-5cm in size and may comprise wheat, corn cob, straw, quicklime, gypsum and potassium dihydrogen phosphate. After covering the spawn with soil, the soil may be watered within 24 hours to a depth of 15-20cm. When the spawn germinates to form a mycelium network, the mycelia will enter a nutrient-rich exogenous nutrient area, secrete various extracellular enzymes to decompose and utilize these exogenous nutrient blocks, and transport them to a nutrient-poor mycelium network for storage, so as to complete nutrient assimilation and absorption, and reserve energy for later sexual reproduction. The cultivation method of the present disclosure can effectively reduce the operations of making, sterilizing, transporting, perforating, placing, and removing an exogenous nutrient bag in conventional field cultivation of the Morchella esculenta.

Abstract: Η μέθοδος αποθηκεύσεως καθ'ύψος παλετοποιημένων εμπορευμάτων με ανακλινόμενα ράφια-προβολούς επιτρέπει την ανύψωση της παλέτας επί τόπου στη θέση τοποθέτησης σε αντιδιαστολή με άλλα συστήματα σταθερών ραφιών-προβολών που απαιτούν τη διαδρομή του ανυψωτικού μέσα στη σειρά με τη παλέτα εξ αρχής υψωμένη στο ύψος τοποθέτησης, που έχει σαν αποτέλεσμα την υπέρμετρη καταπόνηση του ιστού του ανυψωτικού.  Λόγω αυτής της καταπόνησης τα συστήματα αυτά έχουν περιορισμούς στο μήκος της σειράς αποθήκευσης και απαιτούν πολύ λείο δάπεδο. Το προτεινόμενο σύστημα κινείται στο διάδρομο αποθήκευσης με τη παλέτα στο κατώτερο σημείο.  Ετσι η καταπόνηση του ιστού είναι μηδαμινή και το μήκος της σειράς απεριόριστο. Παράλληλα δεν έχουμε πρόβλημα αν το δάπεδο δεν είναι απολύτως λείο. Το σύστημα αποτελείται από μεταλλικές κολώνες που συνδέονται μεταξύ τους με καρυφοτεγίδες και λοξές αντιρρίδες.  Τα ανακλινόμενα ράφια-προβολοί κατασκευάζονται σαν τελλάρα από κοιλοδοκό και στηρίζονται ανά δύο σε μια κεντρική οριζόντια κοιλοδοκό με σύστημα μεντεσέδων έτσι ώστε να "στοπάρουν" σε οριζόντια θέση.  Η κατασκευή επιτρέπει στα ανακλινόμενα ράφια-προβολούς να στέκονται σε κατακόρυφη θέση (αρνητική κλίση) επιτρέποντας το χαμήλωμα της παλέτας επί τόπου αμέσως μετά την εξαγωγή της από τη θέση της.  Ακόμη, ανάκλιση των ραφιών ενός διαδρόμου επιτρέπει την αποθήκευση εμπορευμάτων που δεν χρειάζονται ράφια (κατεψυγμένα, μετλ. βαρέλια).  Με ανάκλιση των ραφιών μιας σειράς και προσθήκη ραφιών σε άλλη θέση με βίδες έχουμε τη δυνατότητα ανακατανομής στα ύψη συγκεκριμένης σειράς (π.χ. αντί τρεις καθ'ύψος παλέτες δύο μεγαλύτερου ύψους) χωρίς να επηρεάζονται τα ύψη στις γειτονικές θέσεις αφού τα ράφια κάθε θέσης έχουν δυνατότητα ανεξάρτητης πειστροφής. Αν τα ράφια που είναι πάνω από τη θέση προς τοποθέτηση ανακλιθούν πριν τη τοποθέτηση μπορεί να τοποθετηθεί η παλέτα με μηδενικές καθ'ύψος ανοχές αφού τα ράφια θα οριζοντιωθούν μετά τη τοποθέτηση. ω
